Warning - Be certain that your HDD does NOT have a third party 'Disk
Overlay' utility installed (e.g. Symantec's GoBack) before attempting this
DOS command.

Adaptec GoBack software"

Good point! As far as I'm concerned that monstrosity should have be
killed before it ever made it out in public! In my opinion people still
using GoBack are asking for trouble.
